Cheryl Cole may be into her second week of wedded bliss after walking down the aisle with Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini, but it turns out their marriage may not yet been made official, as it’s claimed her new hubby’s five middle names have made their marriage license difficult to understand.

However The Sun are now claiming that a combination of Jean-Bernard’s never-ending middle names and the original registrar’s handwriting have made the document hard to get their heads around, with a clerk in St Vincent writing “don’t understand the bachelor’s name” in the corner of their license.
Jean-Bernard also only listed his surname as ‘Fernandez’ rather than ‘Fernandez-Versini’, though we’re guessing that’s more because he ran out of space than anything else.
Cheryl’s mum Joan and her husband’s best man Benjamin Bran were listed as witnesses, confirming that they were among the few guests at the ceremony.

9. Since getting hitched, Cheryl is officially no longer known as Ms.Cole but the rather more sophis Madame Fernandez-Versini. Still no word on what she'll be doing about that 'Mrs.C' tattoo on her neck but we're keeping everything crossed for her new moniker to be inked all the way around her throat. Well, it's not like she doesn't love an in-your-face tattoo, is it? (credit:Instagram)
